Tuya-zigbee based plugs like the āNOUSā ones have an over-voltage security feature set at 250V which is too low (and below the +/- 10% specs) for some areas with lots of PV installations.
NOUS released a new firmware last year which sets this threshold a bit higher and so fixed the undesired shut-downs once and for all.
So if you are in a 230V area and experienced such shut-downs during very sunny days, you should check with your plug manufacturer.
Not sure if this has been reported already or not. But we need conditional sectionsā¦
You could argue I could ensure that the conditional card is in a section with a non-conditional card, but doesnāt that defeat the objective of fluid sections?
Which models specifically? Most of the devices you mention are high wattage devices, and your plugs might not be rated for that without triggering some overload protection
Split the cable and put a CT clamp around the live wire with a Shelly EM (or anything to your liking that can work with a CT clamp). Unlike any kind of smart plug this is purely for monitoring and cannot turn your device off, plus it can handle much higher loads (typically, depending on the CTās rating). I have this setup inside an outbuildingās DB to measure that whole buildingās overall power consumption.
You could also install a Shelly PM inside the wall socket. Connect it before the manual switch and keep the switch manual and not connected to the Shelly.
Allow customizing display name for energy device by karwosts Ā· Pull Request #20033 Ā· home-assistant/frontend Ā· GitHub this one? Weird, since backend is approved, now Iām even more confus.
I just update from 2024.2 to 2024.3. Many automations got wiped out. How can this be fixed ?

Thank you for your suggestion though.
@ShadowFist yes thatās true, the oven certainly wouldnāt work with standard smart plugs.
Therefore @stamandr has a good idea to use devices like Shelly EM as I already use one of these to monitor the main electricity feed into my house but never thought to do the same for individual appliances too. The only downside is theyāre fairly expensive so would only use them for things like the oven.
I might try one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005873738695.html
Thanks!

I have one of those working great for my oven and immersion heater, inside a metal consumer unit. Make sure you put the supply wires for the module from a low amp circuit, not the same as the circuit youāre monitoring

Are your leak detector devices missing from home assistant?
There may be a problem with the integration that supplies them.
Stillā¦ it should not wipe the missing entities from the automation.
I just update everything Core/SV/OS, and did a full HA backup and it was 85MB, compared to about 160MB for all the previous Full backups prior to today. Has the backup function become more efficient or is something missing? Anybody else seeing this? I just want to make sure Iām getting good backups.
Yes I sense that I saw that on the change logs but donāt remember what was the version.
Yep, seeing this in two of my 6 todo lists. Havenāt dug into it yet.
You can always copy your backup, to another destination, and unpack it, , but the āsizeā of a full-backup can vary depended upon the size of your DB
But as Joao mention there has been several improvements the past year, in both speed and size
Latest a few month ago if i remember right

Cool! I did read about speed improvements. I updated from 2024.1.x, so I had a couple months there to catch up. I didnāt think the DB was backed up anymore though. Mine usually gets pretty large (GB) because I keep 14 days of many entities. I guess since it is text is can be zipped pretty small. Cheers.

Did you leave those devices as Tuya or did you flash them with something else? Iāve read a lot about Tuya here and have been reluctant to add that to my ever-growing list of integrations.
Still, the price sure looks right.
I got the Zigbee ones so work with Z2M as-is
There doesnāt appear to be a problem with the integration(s). All devices and entities are there. I checked core.device_registry from a previous backup the compared it to the most recent one. Many of the IDās have been changed (eg: āidā: 62ecab8f05675d2d495f8dc2e16b4f3d",) to something different. This is not only for my Water leak sensors, but plugs, lights as wellā¦ I really donāt have a way to troubleshoot this as there is nothing in the logs to point me in the right direction. I rolled back, everything is good. Apply the latest update, the issue comes back.
Thatās 100% provided by the integration. If the integration provides information that differs from what it used to provide, you will get new entities.
